Col. Richard M. Johnson, now. Vice President of
the United States, said, (in Congress)—
Who is Gen. Harrison ? The ton of one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence, who
spent the greater part of his largehortune in redeem
ing the pledge ho then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure tup liberties of his
country. £
“ Ofthe career of Gen. Harrison; I need not speak
the history ofthe West, is his History. For forty
years he has been identified wily its interests, its
perils and ns hopes. Universal!}’ beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils ot his country, he Did been yet more
illustriously distingu'shed in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any other General officer; he was, per
haps, oltener in action than any time ot them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James 3iadison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said, j
“ While it is deeply lamented so rnan> valu
able lives have been lost in the ration which look
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress f.vill see with sat
isfaction thedauntlessspirit of ft iiitude victorious
ly displayed by every description troops engaged,
as well as the collected firmness w) Ich distinguished
their commundei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and disci j [me.”
James Madison in his Message to Congress, No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the Sta cs of Kentucky,
Oiiio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, un !er the command
of Brigadier General Harrison, vv o possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
w hom are citizens some of them dunteers in the
ranks, not less distinguished by t ,eir political sta
tions than by their personal merit; ”
In Mr. Madison’s message of D cember 1813, the
compliment was extended, as folk vs :
“ The success on Lake Erie ha\ ng opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enenq the officer com
manding the Northwestern arm.- transferred the
war thirther, and, lapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing w ith their savage associat s,forced a general
action, which quickly verminatrd in the capture of
the British, and dispersion of the savage force.
‘ ‘ This result is signally honoru ‘tie to Major Gen
eral Harrison, by whose military alents it was pre
pared."

Harrison is the first of the two.”

“ Already is the brow of the yo ng warrior, Cro

“ The victory of Harrison, was s ch as would have
secured to a Roman General in tfu best days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph He put an end
to the Har in the Uppermost Cano la."
Sentiments of the Here of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan:
*• 1 desire no plaudits which ans bestow ed upon
me at the expense of General Han|son.
*• I have ft It the warmest attach tent for him as a
man, and ray confidence in him as m able comman
der remains unshaken. I feel eve / assurance that
he will at ail times do me justi e; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal oi their unlriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; nd so long as he
continues (as in my humble opinit i he has hither
to done) tom ake the wisest arrat jements and the
most judicious disposition, which fine forces under
his command will justify, I ehai not hesitate to
unite with lue army in ocatowng upun £mra iuai
confidence which he so richly merits, and which has
on no occasion been withheld. ’
The Richmond Enquirer said ;
“G en Harrison’s letter tells us every thing that
wo wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He docs justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojustice to ihe man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”
From Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames
“We have suffered greatly for the want of pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.’
20" “ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who are the least willing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will ot a master. ’
Wm. H Harrison.

—May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting vVm. H. Harrison.
“General Harrison has done more for Ins coun
try, with less compensation (or it, than any man
living.” President 3ladison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriotsaid :
“ What man li\ cs, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes of
the West, who have freed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife ! if there bo such an
one, he is a traitor to the country—he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his life of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of'Gcn. Har
rison, «aid ,
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army, may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
“It must he conceded that this victory reflected
great honor ujion the national arms, and upon the
troops by whom it was achieved.
“ The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aclistics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances oi
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”

Ol him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke
in the House, ol Representatives whilst a member
of that body :
“Os the career of Gen. Hamson, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history Fur
forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its perils, and its hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks ol peace,and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of his country, he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, fie was lunger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, ettner in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
fcuch is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished lame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence w here neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned ny his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of the nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”

He left my premises cn the 9th of August, and
wore off a pair of homespun nankeen pantaloons,
and took off with him a pair of blue Kentucky
jeans, and a cloth cap. Nelson is a tolerable black
smith, and fond of gambling, and is sure, if taken
up, to dcn>- his name and his owner’s name, as he
has runaway twice before. Once I got him out of
Augusta jail, and once from Charleston, 8. C. 1
purchased him from Benj. Davis rn Hamburg. —
Any information will be thankfully received, and
the above reward will be paid for his lodgment in
